It's frustrating. We're working on this one too. I've asked the team to come back to me with an idea of when we might expect this one to get solved. Hopefully it's sooner than later.

Commented above regarding Planes - regarding the damage numbers this ones got us back to the drawing board. We saw the fix working in testing but not the public build so we're trying to figure out what's preventing it from occurring.

It's back this week, for a week. Mercury only, in a rotation with Domination and TDM.

There was some stuff we were able to do Server side to limit it, but we needed a client patch to fully stamp it out. We're expecting that this time it's gone for good.

This is also something we have a team of folks looking at. I sat down with Jaqub and he told me that we're trying to figure out why some are getting hit harder than others. Soon as we have more concrete stuff to talk about, we'll look to bring you a more detailed look at that one.

Not sure, will ask.

/u/braddock512 will likely have those details in the weekly brief. I need to get on a Plane to get to LA soon!

We do around 3-4 patches a month presently, usually with one of them being a larger content drop. I'd say we're getting pretty good at it now, and for sure we can always do better.

Not wrong, but other than me pulling out a Thesaurus and just swapping the word for increasingly more obscure alternatives, the only other option is to stay radio silent until we can point at the fix. This would end up being pretty limiting for everyone so where it's needed, it'll still get used.

(We will put another dollar in the jar though)

We weren't blind to that sentiment going into the change, we experienced the same thing with Duo.

We couldn't sustain it alongside the other modes and needed to do reduce how many modes were available as quickmatch options. None of the decisions would have been popular so we targeted the modes that we ourselves were least happy with, and proved least popular. We didn't make the decision blind to the fact that for those who played, it was the thing they enjoyed most.

Frontlines will rotate back in, and we're looking to make some gameplay tweaks to improve the mode. Long term, it'll feature as a rotational mode though we're presently exploring other ways to bring it back that don't increase the number of quickmatching options.

Good point. Forgot that happened to me. You can fix it by going up to a stationary weapon, sitting in it, and then exiting.

This is presently what we're considering trialling.We're open to the idea of putting all 32 player modes into one playlist, we're just trying to figure out what would work best in terms of rotation.

• 1 Giant playlist of all 32 Player modes, all maps, running 1 rotation of the mode and it's maps before moving onto the next mode?
• 1 playlist of all 32 player modes, popular maps, running 1 rotation of the mode and maps before moving onto the next mode?
• 1 playlist of all 32 player modes, all maps and modes shuffled?
• 1 playlist of all 32 player modes, some maps, all shuffled?
• 1 playlist of some 32 player modes, popular maps, running 1 rotation of the mode and maps before moving onto the next mode?
• 1 playlist of some 32 player modes, all maps and modes shuffled?
• 1 playlist of some 32 player modes, some maps, all shuffled?

It's not a technological limitation, it just doesn't make sense to have x persons spread out waiting behind 20 or so different doors. Our servers only appear in the server browser when enough people are queued (assuming available spots aren't present on existing servers). We no longer just leave empty servers up and waiting for people to join like with Battlefield 1 and previous titles.

Wasn't taken that way at all. Appreciate the sentiment of the message all the same <3

I was talking Career Rank, vs. Tides of War Rank - apologies for the confusion.

In regards to Frontlines and Domination being the highest earners for Chapter Rank, I asked the team about this whilst I was in Stockholm last week. Both modes showed as being in the top 3, but Conquest was, and always has been #1 earner for Chapter XP. 4th I think is Breakthrough, which was very close behind Domination.

I've been told not to expect any changes to the earn rates to account for Frontlines and Domination becoming rotational modes. I can only volunteer that the change wasn't done with this as an intended consequence.

The team will monitor week on week average Chapter Rank XP earning and if they observe that it's gone down, we'll consider tweaking things. The present belief is that it won't lead to any negative downturn.

Voting mechanics require dev time to implement. It might well be a very smart solution to the problem but getting that on the table and into the process could take time.

Not opposed to it at all, would just be most interested to solve with something short term whilst that got explored.
